BV aCCOIIIIIS from the European papers
f •
itseems that the dreadful'seouroe, the chol
era, is again on its devastating, march over
the F,:istern Continent, and report -says it
has made its appearance in _Canada. It
first anpeared recently in some of the pro
vinces of Persia, carrvina death into the
principle towns. It has spread front Buk
hara to I lerat and Aleshio, and has now
taken the direction from the Caspian Sea
to Teheran and Ispahan. Late accounts
from Odessa state that it hind crossed the
Itussiantorritory and appeared suddenly at
Tiflis, taking a northerly direction between
the Caspian and the Black Seas. On the
other side the cholera broke out unexpect
edly at Orenburg, in the mines of the I Tral
mountains ; it crossed the Volga, and set';
its foot in Europe, at Casan, only 2,000 ki.H
lonteters from St. Petersburg. ✓ It has ad-1
Ivanced from \Vest to North, and does not
j seem to have ft/Ili/wed the banks of the
river, as in 1828 and 1832. The cholera
which devastated France in 1831 and 1832,
had been raging in Persia for seven years.
182:3 to 1830. It first appeared in 1823
at Orenburg, and shed death around that
town for live years. It reappeared at 0.
renburg in 1829, and one. - -tenth of the pop
ulation fell a victim. It broke out in St.
Petersburg, in July, 1831, and in France
in October of the same year. It after
wards extended its ravages to the Western
Continent. Its first appearance here bal.
fled the skill of medical men, but a better
acquaintance with the formidable pestilence
enabled them to strip it of its terrors and
arrest its progress. It first attacked the
hard drinker. Those whose constitutional
stamina had been broken down by self
abuse and dissipation fell almost invaria
bly victims, while those who preserved a
temperate and sober life, who avoided ex
cess of every kind, and kept their minds in
a tranquil condition, escaped.

rains has been immense in some parts of
the Union. In Hampshire county, Va.,
not only have the whole crops of grain and
corn been entirely destroyed, hut the soil
has been totally swept away by the resist

habitants were compelled to leave their

and take refuge in the open wood.
A SAD CASE—A young girl of fourteen,
enaaged in the mills at Saccarappa,
drowned herself. It appears that she had
committed an error, for which she Was re
peiltalitt had promised ample atonement,
and was fingiven. But some of her com
panions so often taunted her about it, and
so frightened her into the belief that the
vonstable was after her, that it produced
mental derangement. She went out to
dinner, waded into the water and drowned.
The case affords an instructive lesson to
the thoughtless, that when repentance fol

The Charleston Mercury, alluding to
the scheme of conquering Mexico, takes
strong grounds against the project, and
holds this language:-.“ We shrink with dread
from the development of a love of conquest
among our people. Such a passion is tho
enemy of liberty and of law. A. military
republic will-in the very nature of thingi
ever tend to a dictatorship and thence to a
monarchy. What do we look to, even in
the acquisition of all Mexico, to compen
sate for the corruption and overthrow of the
Republic. Let us take caution in time.—
Let us not cast away the priceless jewel of
our freedom, for the lust of plunder and
the pride of conquest:"
